Sold the 1.8T :(
« on: 19 December 2010, 18:49 »
Well after deciding it was time to return to a diesel i stuck an advert up tuesday and by the following night she was being driven away, i regret it still but on saturday found a nice black GTTDI150! . Forgot how quick these were and still returning decent MPG  :evil:

Ill stick some pictures up but at the minute its totally standard but im on the look out for some 18" rs4/rs6 winter wheels and ill sell the standard alloys on them. got a few plans for when the weathers better (tints, lower, anni valances) other than those and the rims hoping to keep it sensible and maybe buy a mk2 track toy down the line. i need to get the cambelt done as theres no record of it so if anyone knows the change intervals and expected price that would be helpful as i only know 1.8T's!

cheers! smoke and out  :grin:
